Edgardo Alfonzo will be inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame.
Alfonzo was one of the cornerstones of the Mets teams that reached the playoffs in 1999 and 2000, and was a member of what Sports Illustrated called “the greatest infield of all time” in 1999.
“Getting into the Mets Hall of Fame is a dream come true for me,” Alfonzo said. “The Mets have had so many great players in their history and I’m so proud to receive this honor. This is something I never thought would be possible when I started out. I was never much for individual goals, I just wanted to help us win. For me to get inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame on the 20th anniversary of our NL championship is a special thrill.
Alfonzo is a humble man. He was a great player, and as a manager he led the Brooklyn Cyclones to a Championship. He should manage a major league team, if he so desires.
